N-A-A Chapter 14: Does becoming Hokage require gaining recognition from others?
Chapter 14: Does becoming Hokage require gaining recognition from others?
Clap clap clap, loud applause rang out at just the right moment.
Shota clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
As expected of Brother Heyan, he spoke so well!
"Throughout my life, the Uchiha clan has never been inferior to anyone! I will become Hokage!"
"I will awaken the Sharingan, defeat the Hyuga clan, become Hokage, and earn everyone's recognition as the Uchiha!"
"It is our inescapable duty to protect the glory of the Uchiha clan!"
Rongguang performed steadily, giving Heyan plenty of face.
As expected of my second follower, his clapping was perfectly timed, and his supporting role was concise and powerful.
It expressed my thoughts and awareness.
"Brother Heyan, to be honest, Senju is really too evil. You shouldn't have spoken up for him."
Kazuhiko:……
Well said. I'll reward you by letting you shut up next time.
We don't actually know who Shota is.
Yuta was stunned by Kazuhiko's speech and stood there speechless for a long time.
His feelings were very complicated. Yuta's feelings were like this as Kazuhiko began his speech—
How could an Uchiha utter such disgusting words?!
Openly fawning over Senju and Sarutobi, have you no shame at all?
He couldn't help but doubt Kazuhiko's lineage.
Impure!
This kind of person could never be one of us Uchiha.
By the time Kazuhiko finished speaking, Yuta's mood had calmed down considerably.
He felt he understood what had happened to He Yan.
Eri's son has been brainwashed and misled.
How can anyone believe such nonsense as the Will of Fire?
You've lost your mind!
The Will of Fire is the will of our Uchiha clan!
In Konoha, the Hokage's "son" is the Hokage, the staff officer's son is the staff officer, and the guard's son is the guard.
When the Hokage needs the approval of others?!
Yuta looked at Kazuhiko with a hint of pity in his eyes.
This child is ruined, what a pity...
In fact, Kazuhiko's remarks were all the truth, and quite fair.
But it's clearly impossible to gain the approval of Yuta, a pure-blooded Uchiha.
After all, there is no hatred without a cause. As one of the captains of the security force, Yuta knows best what kind of surveillance, suppression, and persecution the Uchiha clan suffers from.
He considered himself to have been quite restrained by only criticizing the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, and Danzo.
After all, Uchiha Yuta was one of the few doves in the clan, and a peace-loving member.
Yuta looked at Shota helplessly, not wanting to dampen his son's enthusiasm, and could only say tactfully:
"To become Hokage... it's very difficult for someone from the Uchiha clan."
Why?
"It's all that old devil Senju's fault, with his white hair and innate evil. He's the one who created the system targeting us Uchiha. And Sarutobi monkey too..."
Seeing that Yuta was about to start arguing at the slightest provocation, Kazuhiko quickly interrupted and prepared to leave.
Shota's house is no longer a place for me to stay.
Staying there for too long could be life-threatening.
He's still very weak, so he needs to play it safe and develop his strength first, and not be reckless.
"Captain Yuta must be very busy with his work at the security unit. I'm really sorry to bother you today..."
Yuta was not angry that his spellcasting was interrupted.
Guests are guests, who would argue with a fool?
He pretended not to understand Kazuhiko's implied meaning and tried to salvage the situation.
Let Kazuhiko join the guard team and show him just how dark the sky is in Konoha without protection.
Who told them to be from our own clan? We Uchiha are just kind-hearted.
"The security team's work isn't busy, the workload is light, and the pay is good. After all, under our Uchiha's management, who would dare to commit crimes in the village?"
At this point, Yuta revealed a smug expression.
"I'm not bragging, but all the ninjas in the village, whether they're from the Hyuga or Sarutobi clans, are as obedient as monkeys in front of us Uchiha. Absolutely no one would dare to do anything wrong just because of their family background."
"As an Uchiha, you must have been ridiculed by these powerful ninja clans quite a bit. Join the security force and you'll see their true colors."
"Furthermore, the Hokage Building area, which I oversee, has been peaceful and stable for 99 consecutive days, with no incidents reported. If all goes well, our Second Security Team will easily surpass our 123-day record and set a new one..."
"Report!" Yuta's words were interrupted again.
A member of the security team ran in, looking anxious.
"Report, Captain! A brawl has broken out in the mission hall. Both sides used Fire Release ninjutsu. The fire brigade has been dispatched."
The mission lobby is located in the Hokage Building.
Using fire-style ninjutsu there is tantamount to setting fire to the palace in front of the emperor.
Yuta instantly felt his face flush and swell, as if he had been slapped twice in the face.
He could no longer care about He Yan, and rushed outside in his casual clothes, disappearing in a few leaps.
Shota's mother, who was preparing tea nearby, spoke up apologetically:
"We were rude."
In the Uchiha clan, it is considered disrespectful for the head of the family to abandon his guests.
Kazuhiko was actually fine and didn't feel slighted.
He even breathed a sigh of relief because Yuta had, unsurprisingly, had an accident.
"Captain Yuta is a man of strong emotions, and given the unexpected situation, it's understandable."
He stood up and took out the prepared scroll from his pocket, presenting it to the other party.
"This is a guarantee personally signed by Dean Eri, as well as part of the 'physical support plan' that I devised. You can review it, and if there are any issues, you can terminate it at any time."
Shota's mother took the scroll and read it carefully.
Eri's guarantee made me feel much more at ease.
Moreover, the physical assistance system inside, apart from looking a bit strange, is not dangerous.
"In addition," Kazuhiko added:
"I've set the time for the awakening of the Sharingan after the clan meeting the day after tomorrow. At that time, Jonin and elders who are concerned about this matter will be present to observe, and Dean Eri will also be personally present to ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Shota's mother carefully put away the guarantee and bowed deeply.
"After these few days of psychological counseling, I've seen a change in my son, Shota. He smiles a lot more now. Your psychological clinic is truly remarkable. Shota has taken a lot of effort to help you."
"This concerns Shota's future, so we can't afford to be negligent."

[Chonnin-level entry draw chance +1]
You're a Jonin too?!
Two supreme beings from one family! Incredible!
I was mistaken; my apologies.
It's all Shota's fault. He only said that you used your Byakugan to glare at him, but he didn't mention that you were also a powerful ninja.
In the Naruto world, full-time housewives and full-time husbands do exist.
Regardless of the era, being a ninja is always a high-risk profession with an uncertain future.
Therefore, many ninjas, after having a stable life, would give up their ninja identity and return to their families completely.
"Regardless of the outcome of this treatment, we will certainly repay you handsomely."
"You're too kind. I'll take my leave now."
He Yan had gained quite a bit and was already very satisfied.
The three chances to draw the Jonin title were an unexpected bonus.
It's a miracle that a genin could visit a jonin's house without being ridiculed or looked down upon, and even gain goodwill in return.
From now on, if anyone says that we Uchiha are hard to get along with, I'll fight them!
"Brother Heyan!"
Shota's voice came from behind, followed by a series of light footsteps.
Kazuhiko turned his head and saw Shota leading two black-haired girls after them.
The two girls were about seven or eight years old, with bright eyes. One of them had a beauty mark on the corner of her right eye.
"This is my younger sister, Moe, and next to her is her classmate, Izumi."
Shota took the initiative to introduce them: "Moe, Izumi, this is Kazuhiko-nii..."
"I know!"
Meng ran up to He Yan, looked up at him, her eyes full of curiosity.
"My brother mentions you at home every day, saying you're the best psychologist in all of Konoha!"
Kazuhiko chuckled: "I wouldn't dare claim to be the best, that's too much, too much."
He sized up the two girls; both were undeniably beautiful. It wasn't surprising, given that the Uchiha clan was known for producing handsome men and beautiful women.
But this name sounds familiar. Itachi Uchiha's girlfriend was named Izumi, and she also seemed to have a beauty mark on her face...
"Moe, Izumi," Kazuhiko crouched down to be at eye level with the two girls, "I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you this time. How about this, do you know the three-color dumplings shop in the village?"
"I know, the three-colored meatballs inside are sweet and the best."
The two little ones spoke in unison, and Meng added:
"Izumi loves sharing the three-colored dumplings with Itachi the most."
really.
Kazuhiko knew in his heart that the person in front of him was most likely the one from the original work.
The Uchiha Izumi who gave Itachi the three-colored dumplings, was Itachi's...girlfriend in the original work?
"Then I'll bring you three-colored dumplings next time, okay?"
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Yan!"
Kazuhiko stood up and ruffled their hair. "Pretty people always seem to like sweets."
The girls lowered their heads somewhat shyly.
[Uchiha Izumi's affection level towards you has increased to: Friendly]

Itachi, how could you bear to hurt such a sweet girl?
I don't think you like sweets at all; you just really enjoy bitterness!
